Community focus groups have recently highlighted the need for affordable, consistent, and location-based child care options throughout the County. Mountain Top Explorium aims to meet these needs through our programs and financial assistance. Rising costs for housing, food, and other essentials underscore the importance of funding out-of-school time, which enables working families to maintain consistent working hours while ensuring their children are participating in enriching childcare activities. For more details about our successes with these programs’ relaunch in January, please read the 2024 Fall Update.
“Whether you join us for breakfast at the Silverthorne Elks Lodge on the 6th, donate, or help spread the word. Together, we can allow every child in our community to thrive,” noted Miller.
